Abstract excerpt
Using as substrates a series of chimeric proteins containing various fragments of the hepatitis C virus precursor polyprotein between Escherichia coli maltose binding protein and dihydrofolate reductase, we analyzed the substrate requirements of hepatitis C viral serine proteinase (Cpro-2) for intermolecular polypeptide cleavage in E. coli. Cpro-2-dependent substrate cleavage was observed in E. coli cells...
